A Kerry senior citizen, 76, drove his brand new BMW
convertible out of
the dealership.
Taking off down the road, he floored it to 80 mph,
enjoying the wind
blowing through what little hair he had left.
'Amazing,' he thought as he flew down the
Killarney road, pushing the
pedal even more.
Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a Garda car
behind him, blue
lights flashing and siren blaring.
He floored it to 100 mph, then 110, then 120.
Suddenly he thought, 'What am I doing? I'm too
old for this,' and
pulled over to await the Garda's arrival.
Pulling in behind him, the Garda walked up to the BMW,
looked at his
watch and said,
'Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is
Friday. If you can give me
a reason for speeding that I've never heard
before, I'll let you go.'
The old gentleman paused. Then said, 'Years ago,
my wife ran off with
a Garda.
I thought you were bringing her back.'
'Have a good day, Sir' replied the Garda
convertible out of
the dealership.
